The CityTime contract with the project's prime contractor, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), was restructured in September of last year after some tense negotiations. As part of the restructuring, New York City demanded that SAIC complete the project by June of 2011, when it would receive a final payment of $32 million. If not, the city would withhold the payment until the project was finished as well as charge SAIC $3 million for each month it took past the deadline.
